Koome promises timely and responsive Justice in 2026

Chief Justice Martha Koome vows to deliver timely, accessible, and responsive justice in 2026, guided by the Judiciary’s Strategic Blueprint STAJ, promoting rule of law and constitutionalism in Kenya.

NAIROBI, Kenya, Dec 31 — Chief Justice and President of the Supreme Court Martha Koome has pledged a renewed commitment to ensuring justice that is accessible, timely, and responsive to the needs of all citizens.

In a message ahead of the ushering of the New Year, Koome committed to sustained reforms under her Strategic Blueprint, Social Transformation through Access to Justice (STAJ), which aims to strengthen the rule of law and constitutionalism across the country.

“The new year invites us to renew our shared commitment to justice, constitutionalism, and the rule of law. These principles remain the firm foundation upon which our Republic stands,” she said.

The Chief Justice called on Kenyans to continue building trust, promoting peaceful coexistence, and working together for a fairer and more just Kenya.

“May this year strengthen our trust in one another, promote peaceful coexistence, and inspire hope for a fairer and more just Kenya. I wish you a happy, peaceful, and prosperous New Year 2026,” Koome added.

She underscored the Judiciary’s ongoing focus on improving access to justice, reducing delays, and ensuring that the legal system meets the needs of all citizens, particularly the vulnerable and marginalized.
